Claire Bouchenard

Claire Bouchenard is a partner within Osborne Clarke’s Technology, Media and Telecommunications practice, based in Paris. A recognised leading French lawyer in the advertising and marketing sectors, she focuses on the legal and regulatory framework governing communications and the digital economy.

Claire has a highly transversal practice spanning intellectual property, IT, personal data, consumer and commercial law, combined with deep experience in advertising and marketing. She regularly structures and reviews advertising campaigns and promotional operations, sponsorship and influencer marketing, and advises on complex gambling-related advertising issues. This broad skillset enables her to efficiently manage multi-faceted projects for her clients, from strategic advice and regulatory audits to contract negotiation and contentious matters.

She advises both internet pure players – including platforms, marketplaces and adtech companies – and more traditional businesses, particularly in consumer-facing industries. Claire has significant experience in EU and French digital regulation and platform compliance, covering online advertising rules, consumer and transparency obligations, illegal content management and accountability frameworks for digital services. She assists clients in designing practical compliance strategies, preparing for and responding to investigations and enforcement actions, and managing high-stakes disputes before regulators and courts.

Claire is ranked by Legal 500 as a Leading Partner in the IT and internet industry and is also listed as a Leading Partner in trademarks and designs under intellectual property. She is in the Hall of Fame for Media and entertainment (Advertising) on Legal 500. 

I like to deliver practical advice, to support projects and to find solutions. I am very sensitive to major societal transformation movements such as digitalisation and decarbonisation, and their convergence.
